Împreună Acasă (2017)

OMG
I couldn't bear
I couldn't push my self to watch more than episode 13
I watched most of the rest by skipping scenes
No plot
No story
No feelings during the whole drama between the 1st main leads except very few ones
Too long with no need

For the first time DEFINITELY the Japanese version was much more better a lot

It was very slow pace
I liked the second couple more than the 1st and the 3rd
The romance was very lame between the 1st main couples
I disliked that the ML had a dead face expression
Yes I know it was his role at the beginning
But sure there must be difference after loving the FL
But he was the same
He was a very bad actor in this drama

There were almost no interaction between them inspite of living at the same house

Almost No friction to love each other
Just very very very few situations to make such a rational character like the FL fall in love with such a fridge man like this one

I liked the restaurant guy more of course

Wouldn't recommend
But if you liked hometown cha cha cha
So you are going to like this one

These kinds of stories are more my favourites in the K-Drama world. No otherworldly villains or antagonists. Just three couples trying to live their lives - one through convenience, one through unwillingness to take the next step, and one where careers come first. And it’s a thrilling ride, albeit a bit predictable. But that doesn’t take away how enjoyable and easy the drama is to get invested in. The plot points dealt with many everyday occurrences such as the meaning of marriage, dealing with sexual harassment at work - both being the victim and being on on-looker - growing up both professional and personally. Tonally, the plots were usually not too heavy nor is it played for laughs. The serious subjects were treated with respect and the lighter plots have their own weight to them as well.

The cast and acting was excellent as well. Lee Min Ki was pretty much perfect as the prickly, socially awkward Se Hee. His chemistry with Jung So Min was excellent - although there is only so many times I can take their football talk and not roll my eyes at the complete transparency in how little they are into football (in real life I mean) - but also Park Byung Eun’s character Sang Goo, Se Hee’s best friend and Boss. All the leads matched well with their counterparts as well as the supporting roles. Shout out to Bo Mi as a character. Was a good friend to everyone she interacted with, added some good, witty humor to her scenes while having good chemistry with Won Seok (played by Kim Min Seok), to the point where you wouldn’t mind if he took her up on her offer to be together at the end. I can’t praise this enough. The acting and casting from the Families to the main cast was outstanding.

Series that will heal your heart

I want to say that this is the best rom-com series I've watched in the past 10 years.
I watched this series after all 16 episodes aired, and after watching it I immediately watched it all over again 2 more times. I loved it so much. My heart swells every time I watch this series. It heals my heart. I understand Jiho and Sehee's reasons. Their reaction What they did seemed very natural. And I really understand how they fell in love slowly but deeply.
I would like to praise the soundtrack. The music used in every episode is very good.
Finally, I would like to praise Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min's performances. They were able to create characters that made me fall in love. Silent-faced man looks cold But he was filled with warmth. And when he started to love him, he almost went crazy in love. Jung So Min as Ji Ho is sweet, intelligent, kind-hearted, and has a very natural innocence. I really want to cherish her.
Take a look, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. And you will definitely love this series the way I do.

I love this drama! Of all the ones I've watched, it's among the few that I would consider seeing again, and I don't watch dramas twice. Here's why though: 2 major reasons.

First, it's the perfect blend of drama, comedy, and romance, and the chemistry between the leads is AMAZING. I'd never seen JSM or LMK in anything before, but after finishing this drama, I had to go and watch the other shows they star in. Both are great actors and the characters themselves are beautiful, complex and hilariously relatable. The female lead is strong, but still struggles with her life and insecurities like any woman would. The male lead is completely ridiculous in the best way, and it's so much fun to watch him grow emotionally throughout the show. The way they fall in love is just perfect! Beyond the beauty of the MC's relationship, the secondary leads are all great, adding equal portion of comedy and drama to the storyline. Personally, the secondary love stories here (it's SO much better than them existing for the sole purpose of some stupid half-assed love triangle with the MCs) are the most fun of any show I've watched.

Second: The greater reason that this show is so amazing is actually because of all the things it DOESN'T do. I've watched a lot of dramas that are good, except that they have a majorly annoying character, dragged out plot or tired troupe. BTIMFL avoids what I consider to be major pitfalls. First, none of the characters annoyed me. I raved already about my love for the MCs, but real talk, dramas often fall short when it comes to the supporting cast. This one doesn't. No annoying supporting leads hung up on the MCs, constantly sabotaging their relationship. No shoot-yourself-in-the-foot meddlesome parents, and no mysterious, under-developed half-siblings jumping out of the woodwork. Not that some of the characters aren't flawed, or that you won't be annoyed with them at times, but generally, they all grow in a positive way and no one is over the top in their idiocy. Also, BTIMFL is refreshingly free of troupes: the male lead isn't some rich, entitled man-child. The female lead isn't woefully incompetent or have violent, emotional outbursts, the storyline doesn't contain any mistaken identities, amnesia, brother/sister complexes or unbelievably tragic backstories. So yeah, the fact that it's refreshingly different contributes, in my opinion, contributes a lot to the enjoyment factor.

This drama amazingly manages to avoid most of the things that annoy me when I watch dramas. That doesn't mean it's perfect or that you'll love it as much as I do, but maybe you will! It's definitely worth watching and finding out for yourself :)

Such a feel good series

This was an unexpectedly good series. Like there were soo many quotes here and there and the ost was sooo nice too. I honestly did not think I would like this series. And it wraps up quite beautifully too.

And the acting was really nice in my opinion. I like the leading lady and after this series I wanted to watch more dramas of Lee min ki

The story itself is somewhat ordinary. But the way its executed Is very goood. I got some really amazing quotes from this movie. I actually paused and literaly wrote it down.

It is a very simple drama yet it makes you think.

A Simple Fun but Yet Profound Show

This was a lighthearted show with so much depth. Thanks to the writers who wrote it so well. Though the plotline seems so cliche, the depth came from the thoughtful writing of each character. There were many moments that surprisingly authentically funny, without trying too hard. The 2 side characters/supporting love lines usually are boring and overdone.. but it was rare to actually enjoy and be interested in the side stories that were engagingly interesting. Very very well written. Smartly written.
Only thing, I didnt like the last 2 episodes which I dont understand why it had to be that way. Was very frustrating. However, overall it is a must watch.

I loved the drama overall the plot was easy to follow and the romance was easily balanced with comedy and etc.. it wasn't cliche in any way. The music and sound effects fit perfectly with the mood of the scene that was taking place and it was humorous in its own way. Overall I loved watching it sadly it finished within 16 episodes the actors did a great job in conveying the characters personality and mood a big hand should go to Lee Min Ki he did amazingly is acting skills was top notch throughout the whole drama obviously I'm not leaving out Jung So Min she did equally as well! I would recommend this to anyone that wants to see a sweet Romance there were times I felt like skipping and going to where they actually liked each other but I'm happy didn't even thought it takes a while for them to fully convey feeling I still think it was amazing! highly recommend :)!

One of the best dramas i've ever watched!

I loved this drama so much i just had to write a review.
The story wasn't too complex but it talks about complex themes, it will definitely make you think and redefine your idea of what relationships are.
The dynamics of the different characters were all unique and they were all valuable, there was not a single character I disliked, because they weren't one dimensional, they all had complex traits and their own story, there really wasn't a single cliché. Our two lead characters might seem like the usual duo of naive girl and cold boy, but they really aren't like anything i've seen before. The female lead is sweet and oblivious, but she's strong, she knows how to set her boundaries and ask for what she wants, and that's the thing I loved the most, because usually female leads tend to let others step on them or they are too aggresive, but this woman is not. Our male lead is definitely cold and has his own emotional issues, but he's never a jerk, he struggles with this relationship but he knows how to respect the FL and he knows how to compromise.
I also really loved that we have three very different women, but each one of them is unique and strong in their own way, and their friendship is simply precious.
This story made me completely redefine my idea of what marriage is, and how a romantic relationship should be. It's heartwarming, uplifting, fun, interesting. I'll definitely rewatch this.

This is the second drama I watched from both of the leads, I can say that I knew it was going to be good from the first episode. The story is great because it shows the real-life problems of adulthood and society, and it criticizes them accordingly. It is set in Korea, but it can be anywhere. The characters are all very detailed and they are not superficial. They have been worked on in the writing, it shows. Because of that, the secondary roles were not boring to watch, they also had their own stories. I like the acting and story in this drama. The comedy and drama elements are balanced. Still, the last few episodes felt a bit long for some reason. Another thing is that, I loved the literature references, it is a good opportunity to learn about the art of the country via dramas.

Story
It's more than just housemates who enter a loveless marriage, it's all about the meaning of marriage today. Would you get married just to secure a position or not feel social pressure anymore? Would you get married to an almost stranger just because you need a place to stay? The story really makes you think about marriage. The relationship between JiHo & SeHee is meaningful and their conversations very deep.

Acting/cast
Loved all of them. The relationships are very well-done. The cast is great and perfectly balanced !
The friendship between the girls and their undefeatable support despite their personal & discutable decisions.
I also absolutely loved the character of SooJi, this strong woman who must bend at work because she's the only woman and her colleagues see her as a sexual object or an employee who only does unimportant tasks. She is just great on every aspects.

An amazingly complex exploration of human emotions

I’d like to compare this drama to a book that should’t be judged by the cover of its plot summary and promotional posters. Despite its premise that sounds like your typical bubblegum-sweet romantic comedy, I would say this is one of the most intelligently-written, insightfully-packed Kdrama of such genre I have ever seen so far. The stories of each character are quite ordinary but I did not expect so many intricacies that would come out of them. I loved their depiction of how people strived to sew together their ideals and with their realities, and eventually come to terms with the resulting epiphanies. Everything was about the rawness of emotions, perspectives, opinions and pure desires of the heart. There were no exaggerated cruelties or devious conspiracies, just plain human issues and challenges. I guess this is targeted towards a more mature audience, and if you are an adult you can’t help but be able to identify with a character or two at some point. I didn’t give it a perfect rating because even with the extremely rich dialogue there were some parts where I felt it was already way too complicated and overly-thought so it no longer made sense, plus the two lead actors lacked just a teeeny bit of chemistry points. But overall, it was a great experience, I learned so many lessons and it made me rethink some of my own life principles.
